Etymology
The word 'trade' has its origins in the Middle English word 'traden', which came from the Old English word 'tradian' meaning 'to tread'. This reflects the idea of walking or treading a path, symbolizing the movement and exchange of goods. Over time, 'trade' evolved to represent not just the act of exchanging goods, but also the entire system of commerce and business transactions.
